Oh, a marriage between a Brazilian Princess and Liechtensteiner Prince would be wonderful! There is a great amount of beauty in both Families.

I read somewhere that Prince Bertrand, Prince Imperial of Brazil, wants that one of his nephews (Prince Rafael of Brazil and Prince Henri Antoine of Ligne) or one of his nieces (Princesses Amélia and Maria Gabriela of Brazil and Princess Alix of Ligne) marry a member of the Liechtensteiner Princely Family.

Prince Bertrand is a very wise man, and he would be an incredible Head of State and Emperor for Brazil. I met with him and Prince Luiz, Head of the Imperial House, some years ago, when my husband and I traveled to Brazil.

Those are the ones that are already surely married; not entirely sure about some of the others. Plus, I would say that she would be much to closely related to Prince Josef-Emanuel as their grandparents are siblings. At least one of the others should already know Brazil due to his relationship with another well known Brazilian...

That's true. The Archduchess was the only girlfriend Prince Pedro Luiz had.

Thanks for the piece of information about the Princes marital status.

I'm sure that dating Mariana Lima didn't made Prince Wence famous here in Brazil. Even she isn't that famous here. Although, if a Prince dates Gisele Buschen, he'll surely become famous here..

Don't worry. At Prince Pedro Luiz's funeral, Prince Rafael assumed the compromise of follow on his late brother's footsteps.
The future of the Brazilian Imperial Family is secured. Prince Rafael will be a great Head of the Imperial House. Who knows he can a great Emperor!

I use the Gotha and the Peerage for more accurate researches. Wiki is just for quick researches (but, of course, isn't alway very much accurate)..

But we don't have any reason to not believe on Princesses Amélia and Cristina.

Oh, I wasn't trying to imply that. I honestly... for me, that's something that is so, so private that speculating about it is always rude. Plus, to me, it's also irrelevant. My rule is that anything of that nature that happens between consenting adults is private and not something that anyone should be judged or shamed for- either activity or lack of activity.

I do have a huge problem with the concept of a family having to approve a marriage, because to me, that's something that should be decided solely between the two consenting adults choosing to enter a marriage.

No one is speculating. Prince Rafael's mother and sister said that they were all educated to only have sex after marriage.

The problem is that Prince Rafael isn't a normal person. Brazil isn't a Monarchy anymore, but, one day, he'll become the Head of the Imperial House, he'll represent the whole history of his country. There is some traditions he must follow.

And he said he'll follow the Dynastic Marriage tradition, so, there's no problem. The boy isn't been forced to do anything. He wants to marry a Princess.
